Touratech’s inaugural Touratech East Coast Adventure Rally will take place August 13-16, 2015, near Huntington, PA. Hosted on a 200-acre, private farm located in the rolling hills near Rothrock State Forest, the Rally will offer participants wonderful areas for riding, camping and festive times with the adventure motorcycle community.

The original Touratech Rally in Plain, Washington, has become the largest gathering of adventure motorcycle enthusiasts on the west coast and the organizers hope to bring that same vibe to the East Coast event. The rally will include camping, classes, group rides, entertaining guest speakers, great food and more!

“Riders on the East Coast have let us know loud and clear that they want to experience one of our events and this summer we’re finally able to make it happen. We look forward to riding in Pennsylvania in 2015 and beyond!” – Paul Guillien, CEO, Touratech-USA.

The inaugural Touratech East Coast Rally will also feature the ADV Skills Challenge, a Saturday night barbecue, and vendors from throughout the ADV Motorcycle market. Pine Barrens Adventures will be on-site offering off-road skills development-training courses for an additional fee.

Come join the Touratech crew for a weekend of riding in the mountains and good times around the campfire.

The Miracle League Ride — Raising money so handicap kids can play baseball. “Every Child Deserves a Chance to Play Baseball” and you can help. We ride to the baseball field, park around the field and watch a short game. The money raised helps them play baseball.

The fourth annual Loose Nut Dual Sport Ride will be held November 7-8, 2015. The ride will start 7:00 a.m. at Clifty Falls State Park, 1501 Green Road, Madison, IN 47250. It is a “ride at your own risk” self-guided dual sport tour that is set up around a “basecamp”. The basecamp location moves each year around the areas of southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and western Kentucky. If you would like to ride this route at the same time other people may be riding, it always occurs on the first full weekend in November. The tour is developed by local dedicated riders. The route can be ridden over two days. It occurs through the back roads of the areas on gravel, paved and dirt roads viewing historical sites and eating at good local restaurants.

Last year over 150 riders attended riding large adventure bikes, street legal dual sports and motorcycle sidecar combinations. This is NOT a sponsored, organized event. You must make your own reservations for overnight accommodations. Hotels, restaurants, food and gas stops are identified but are NOT pre-arranged or reserved. There is no fee for attending because you can ride the route at any time you wish. Typically, the basecamp has many people that attend and bring food for Saturday night that they share in a pitch-in fashion, but there is no participation requirement nor fee to do so.
